{ MATERIALS }

Full instructions to assemble the Chinese lanterns are included in Steps to Follow. Additionally (materials are not provided), to make these DIY paper lanterns you will need:

3 A4 sheets of paper

Ruler

Hobby knife

Cutting mat

Hole punch

Ribbon

Tassel

{ STEPS TO FOLLOW }

First, print and cut out the Chinese Lantern printables following the how to do video

Using the blunt edge of the knife and the ruler, mark a horizontal line through the middle of the lantern designs

Make vertical cuts between designs

Fold the tabs as indicated on the printable. Put the tab in the slot and unfold it to secure it

Although you can use these lanterns as they are, we suggest you hang them up. For that, make two holes with the paper punch on opposite sides

Cut two pieces of 15” string, thread one of them through the holes of the lantern, and tie the other to the tassel. (For the tassel, watch our tutorial and you can make it in less than 5 minutes)

Finally, we tie the tassel string to the paper lantern and we are ready to hang it up to decorate your Origami Party
